Simply install this tweak and respring your iPhone.

After respring, you will notice that there is a new icon on the home screen called Eraser.

Open this app and it will show you a screen like this. I am on an iPhone 5S so your iPhone screen might look a bit different.

Now the last step is to press the “erase all data, unjailbreak device” text at the bottom of the screen.

Your iPhone will start removing everything except the operating system and then it will reboot.

After the reboot is complete, you will be greeted with the setup screen where you will need to enter your Apple ID and set up the Touch ID again. Now that you have completely restored your iPhone to the same iOS version, you can jailbreak it again using any jailbreak tool.
